What is gym booking and payment software?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It helps fitness businesses manage class reservations, payment collection and member records. Depending on the platform, it may also include attendance tracking, membership management and reporting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2.

Can gym booking software integrate with payment gateways?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many platforms support payment gateway integrations. Businesses should verify whether transaction statuses, failed payments and refunds are properly recorded.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. What is the difference between booking and attendance tracking?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Booking management records reservations and class capacity.
